Fleetwood Town form and stats
Fleetwood Town's results here at Highbury Stadium in the League One have been very modest with 1 victory, 0 draws and 5 defeats. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Fleetwood, their manager Johnson and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Fleetwood Town travelled for their previous game, a trip to Barnsley that ended 2-2. Fleetwood Town's goalie Lynch played a big part in securing a draw after 90 minutes against Barnsley with a stunning six saves. Midfield player Quitirna got a match rating of 8.12 in that game, the max score being 10. Quitirna scored two goals.
In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Reading.The manager Johnson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Kidderminster Harriers in only four days.
The lack of attacking qualities in Fleetwood means that they have only scored {2 goals} in 6 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.
Blackpool form and stats
Blackpool have only collected 6 points from their away games in the League One, after 1-3-2 (6 played). Visiting Blackpool has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.
Blackpool's previous game was their home loss versus Peterborough United (2-4). That loss was their first after four consecutive league games winning points. As you can tell from the result, the match against Peterborough United was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? Dougall got a match rating of 7.12 in that game, top player of the team. Dougall scored one goal.
Before that, Blackpool secured a home win against Cheltenham Town with the score 3-2.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Blackpool manager Critchley as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Bromley.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Blackpool as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Blackpool have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
